Lion Fasteners for Tail Section Panel on J-Model

[MooneyAcolyte]

Hi Mooniacs,

I lost a fastener from my tail section panel (part 9 from attached illustration). The part number as per IPC is "20-0-100" (applicable to models prior to 24-1458. Mine is 24-1447. Does anybody have an idea where to get these?

I think they are made by Southco. Might give them a call.

I think they’re called dzus.

Here's the pdf link to their catalog for dzus lion fasteners, but danged if I can figure out what 20-0-100 means?

I bet they are 85-11-100-20

It’s a bit confusing. I’ve always heard fasteners referred to as three types: Dzus, Southco, and Camloc. Never heard of Lion. But the Southco catalog lists “Dzus Lion” parts. So, perhaps Southco owns these now. And perhaps to make it more confusing, they might have changed the part numbers. That’s why I suggested calling them.

I replaced mine with 82-11-100-20. They seem to fit well, my originals were painted, I replaced with SS.

You are probably right. I would have to measure one. The 82s are 0.192 diameter and the 85s are o.250 diameter.

I understood that Lion was the fore father of Southco.  There  are also Airloc fasteners used on many Beech products.

From the parts manual:


They have washers for them as well, if you want to protect your paint.

Yep,

If it uses an 82 retention ring, they must be 82s

Could be that the first number should be an 82 rather than a 2. It wouldn’t be the first mistake I’ve found in a part number in the IPC.
